A little small for the experienced

Overall, this toy did not do much for me or my partner. The design of the curve is great but would have done more for us if the ends were larger or more stimulating. I think this is really best suited for beginners and would offer a much better and pleasurable experience for them than it did for us.

Pros:

Very versatile, easy to clean, easy to use in any position, great for beginners.

This toy can be, and is meant to be, used in a variety of ways. It is dual ended, one with a dull rounded end and narrow shaft, the other with a rounded end with the detail of 4 bubbly round shapes. It can be used anally or vaginally, and can be shared between partners as long as it is well cleaned in between. It is made of hard, nonporous acrylic so it can be sanitized with a bleach solution or scrubbed well with antibacterial soap and water.

I have used it on myself several times, utilizing both ends. I inserted it vaginally using both water based and silicone lubes which are both safe with this toy. The narrow end provided very little stimulation simply due to its very narrow size. The rounded or bubbled end didn't do much more for me either except upon the actual insertion or removal because I could definitely feel the rounded edges moving in and out of me. My partner also used it on me vaginally and although it felt no different to me, it was easy for him to move from almost any position because of the curvy shape of the toy.

I also used this toy anally on my male partner. The narrow end would be great for someone just starting out with anal but it was simply too narrow to do too much for him. He had a similar reaction anally to the rounded end as I had had using it vaginally, which was that it felt good upon actual insertion and removal, but did little else. When I used it on him, I could do so comfortably while still being on top of him or in virtually any position around him because the other end of the toy makes a comfortable and usable handle. If he were just beginning to experiment with anal toys, it probably would have worked better on him, but since he is fairly experienced the toy was really too small to provide great results for him either.

We both also noticed that this toy will warm up nicely to body temperature, but will not warm up as quickly or hold temperature as well as glass toys do.

However, for those just starting out with anal penetration or those just starting out with rigid dildos, this toy would most likely provide a gentle welcome.

The toy is made of a beautiful translucent deep raspberry acrylic material. Acrylic is hard and rigid and completely inflexible. This toy is not only attractive but smooth and very easy to clean and sanitize. It is also one of the few toy materials that can be cleaned well enough to be shared as an anal and vaginal toy. The toys had no scent or taste at all from day one and does not hold on to odors at all either.

It is a very smooth, almost sexy, loose Z shape and is 10" long overall although each end - not including the middle part of the curve - is about 3-1/2" long. The curve makes it great for using on a partner or on yourself in any position you desire because it's shaped in a way that it can be held and moved comfortably from any angle. Its size makes it great for beginners but a little unsatisfying for more experienced users. The plain end also looks much sharper in the images provided than it is.

This toy has no real bells and whistles - what you see is what you get. The key to this toy is finding pleasurable ways to use it on yourself or a partner. It does add a lot of versatility because it has 2 different sides but they are both still narrow. It would benefit less experienced couples far more than those used to larger toys.

Because of this toy's hard acrylic material, it is very easy to use safely, clean, and store. It can be used with any lube you prefer without risking damage to the toy. It can be cleaned with antibacterial soap and water or for those that prefer it, a 10% bleach solution. It doesn't pick up fuzzies or fibers like some silicone, jelly, and rubber toys sometimes do. It comes with a drawstring velvet pouch for storage which keeps it clean and away from your other toys. Overall a great, low maintenance toy.

The toy came inside a clear plastic bag with a small paper from the manufacturer describing the toy and the material. The toy was in its storage pouch inside of the plastic bag. The bag was fairly cheap and flimsy and of no use or need for storage so that just went in the trash and the toy is safely stored in its pouch. This packaging was definitely less impressive than what most toys come in, and for the pricetag, I'm surprised they didn't try to pretty it up a little more.

I really think this toy could do amazing things for those looking to start out with anal toys or rigid toys. However, once you've had some experience with either of those things, this toy won't do much for you and there are many much more effective toys on the market for a higher experience level.

The best feature both my partner and I found in this toy was that it is angled in a way that makes it more comfortable to use on one another from any position. But it would have brought much more pleasure had it been larger on both ends. The bubble shape on one end hit lots of good nerves on both of us but wasn't enough to bring on any larger waves of pleasure.

Follow-up commentaryI still don't like it1 month after original review

I still have this, and it is a high quality toy and I'm sure it would last for eons, even under heavy usage. Problem is, I don't use it. It's just not suited for me and unless my anatomy seriously shrinks, I don't see ever using it much. It's a shame, it's a well-made toy!
